Sometimes when conflicts continue for generation after generation, I just throw my hands up in frustration and can't help wonder how two sets of people who believe in the same Abrahamic god could have made human beings so incorrigible.

@NicholasOfAutrecourt I got the lemon tree for Christmas only. I just started reading it today. But I do know at least some of the conflict comes from some of the Islamic beliefs. Look up sahih muslim 2922, 1767 quran 98:6, 5:51. Those verses specifically refer to the Jewish people. It says Either Jewish or people of the book which refers to Jews and Christians.v

Excellent review. Thank you. I just don't understand the conflict and hate. But this book gave me a better feel.

Why do you think they believe in the same God/god?

I will admit When it comes to context I am not 100% sure on.
@@hggfhh4449 I'm not sure what any of this has to do with either the book or my former professor's religion (or lack thereof) ... but okay?
